Stacked logical commits: how one team structures AI-generated optimization PRs for cherry-picking
jmschreiber91 · x · 2026-10-30
A discussion on PR granularity for AI-assisted optimizations: the author shows their approach from the minibwa speedup work — each iteration that improves things becomes one commit with a description, forming stacked logical commits within a single PR so every optimization stays discrete and cherry-pickable. The counterparty argues for dozens of small PRs instead, even if the test suite (which takes hours) runs longer.
